There are many reasons for back pain, as you mentioned its not constant but when only you sit on hard/tight surface it gives you pain which means you core lumbar muscles need stretching and strengthening.
This can be done at home with lower back strengthening exercises, Try avoid bending the spine to lift objects diretly from the floor, sit take the items and stand to avoid pains jerks.
Visit nearby physiotherapy clinic once for proper physical assessment and suggestion on exercises to be done.
